My Thank-You Prayer

                                                         My Thank-You Prayer

                                                        When I lay down at night
                                                        Wondering what to pray,
                                                     I try to thank the Lord above
                                                   For whatever happened that day.
                                                        It could be a simple thing,
                                                           A bud upon a flower
                                                   Or perhaps some time to think,
                                                          A peaceful, quiet hour.
                                                 It might be that our humble home,
                                                         Small though it may be,
                                                   Was filled with joy and laughter
                                                            For everyone to see.
                                                            If it was unpleasant,
                                                            I thank Him anyway
                                                       For all the lessons learned
                                                             On that fateful day.
                                                     And when I'm done that night
                                                       With my thank-you prayer,
                                                  My heart is filled to overflowing
                                                    With all the love He shared.

SELF-SUFFICIENCY? MAY IT NEVER BE!

Now as for me, I said in my prosperity,
"I will never be moved."
     -Psalm 30:6



     In this verse, David had long enjoyed prosperity and then
he grew secure and over-confident of the continuance of it (v.6-7).
He quickly caught himself and redirected his heart away from
self-sufficiency. He remembered that he had known adversity in the
past and God had delivered him."You have turned for me my mourning 
into dancing" (v.11).

     Whether He has brought us blessing or trial, God still deserves our
gratitude and trust. In good times and bad, our greatest need is God.
No matter our circumstances, let's sing to the Lord once again.
The pain of disappointment is often soothed by a heart of gratitude.

     Thank God in your disappointment,
        Celebrate His grace and love,
    Know that, He will never leave you,
    and will bless you from above.
